And finally the side door, leading out to one of my favorite spots, the side porch. Rufus likes that the door matches his outfit.

Between working with a couple of clients and restoring order room by room, there is still quite a bit to do around here. Thanks for taking a peek at the little bits of progress. And thanks for helping me to remember to enjoy the process, not just the result. It makes life all the sweeter, don’t you think?
